CRAP?! They were nothing without Cale!

??? I didn't say they were crap without Cale.
edit: with Cale. |

No, but you said that saying that if you like Loaded the best you're not a true fan was crap, which I think is completely true. Hence, VU was nothing without Cale. :)

The Velvet Underground were not crap without John Cale, they were just different; their self-titled is awsome with Yule it's just different, its more rock and roll sounding.

I probably should've replied directly after listening to Loaded, anyway I liked parts the more sung songs? I don't really remember I may put it on again.
YouTube - Bright Eyes & Lou Reed olol. |
Ok, so I have listened to Loaded a rather large number of times - it wasn't a one-time-n-trash-it deal, I really really tried with it. And what I can say is that it just never blew me away - I don't think much of it qualifies as particularly remarkable pop/rock at all, and I certainly can't see why anybody would want to rank this as one of the truly best albums of the 1970s.
There is one song on the album that I think is simply great, and that's the McCartneyesque opener "Who Loves The Sun". The rest, though listenable, do little for me. Where do other people find their love in Loaded? |
I like the first half.
Sweet Jane & Rock n Roll are 2 of the best pop songs the Velvets ever wrote. Edit: Has anybody actually heard Squeeze , I'd like an unbiased non velvet's fanboy opinion of it. |
So, for those in the know, what to expect of other VU albums? More compelling instrumental and melodic passages than those found on Loaded, more of the same, or is it a case of "if you don't like this, you won't like the rest"?
